All About Hummingbirds

Did you know that hummingbirds have weak feet used primarily for perching? Or that a third of their body weight is muscle? How about their hairy, forked tongues? There's a lot of mystery in this wee critter, and while "All About Hummingbirds," a class at Starsmore Discovery Center (2120 S. Cheyenne Cañon Road, tinyurl.com/sevendayshum), seems geared toward kids, it's an all-ages affair. It costs $3, needs an RSVP and starts at 11:30 a.m. This is its last week, but if you miss it, Starsmore is still the perfect place to see broadtails, calliopes and black chins. — Edie Adelstein
